Any particular reason you didn't just use the debian packages?  These
should work fine in Ubuntu so long as PostgreSQL >= 8.1 and PHP >= 5.1.

Take a look at:
    http://wiki.davical.org/w/Permissions
which is hopefully more like the sort of thing you need for setting
stuff up.

Of course the rewrite of the permissions system is a fairly large
change, and it may be that I've missed some stuff there :-)

Logged in as admin:

Choose 'New principal' to create user 1, user 2 and groupA.

When entering the details for GroupA set the 'Principal Type' to 'Group'
and a 'Group Members' section will appear after it has been saved.  Add
user1 and user2 to this group.

Then go back to edit user1 and add a 'Grant' conferring privileges to
'groupA', do similarly for user2.

In iCal you should hopefully see something appear in your 'delegations'
tab for the account after this is done.

Cheers,
					Andrew.

   Don't let your mind wander -- it's too little to be let out alone.
